Sort of messed up ones then get the "ye old red stripe around them".

Both have seperate buyer markets. Red stripe goes to driving ranges, near perfect goes to resell.
We are fully aware of how the business works. All the good balls are cleaned and seperated and put in ziplock bags then sold out of the back of the stereo shop. The 20k I am talking about are cleaned as well and put in boxes in bulk, they have built up over the years and we need the space.

Sadly the ranges in our area are not interested in these balls as they have special balls they like to use for driving. Every ball has a different softness and hardness etc. Some ranges just do not want regular balls, I am not sure why.

And yes, I watched the special on the discovery channel where they were cleaning balls and painting stripes on them.

ALSO! NONE of these balls are retrieved from water.
